Walk to Turku cemetery. Arrive an hour before sunset to explore the old section with its elaborate sculptures. The wood and mossy outcrops create a uniquely Finnish landscape that feels even more profound as the light begins to fade.

Watch the sunset. On 15 January, the sun sets toward the SW at 15:58. The cemetery’s open, mossy areas offer unobstructed views of the golden light fading into the evening.
